Nativescript-cli: iOS apps will not start with Xcode 10

Created on 21 Sep 2018 · 5Comments · Source: NativeScript/nativescript-cli

Tell us about the problem

A few errors included in the log are:
"Failed to load Info.plist from bundle at path"
"Command xcrun with arguments simctl install"
The compiler seems to fail at copying the app files onto the device or simulator.

I have included the entire build log.
I am running a clean build with entire ios platform folder removed.

Why I think this is specific to Xcode 10:
Builds were running successfully until i updated yesterday, looking at my repo i cannot see any noticeable changes to configuration files, with an exception of this in the package-lock.json file:

The app will build and run when building directly from Xcode 10, after running "tns prepare ios"

I can confirm that I am seeing the same issue. This is (temporarily) fixed by removing the platforms folder every time you run.

I believe you can also fix this by telling xcode 10 to use the legacy build system. I have since rolled back to xcode 9.x but I think you can find it in the File > Project/Workspace Settings sheet. 10 has a new build system and there are still some issues to resolve, so going back to the old way of doing builds fixed most things like this for me.
